How to consume cantaloupe (muskmelon) without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Eat cantaloupe alongside a source of protein like Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a handful of nuts. Protein can help slow the absorption of sugars.

Add Healthy Fats

Combine cantaloupe with foods rich in healthy fats such as avocado, chia seeds, or flaxseeds. Fat can also slow down sugar absorption.

Fiber-Rich Foods

Include a high-fiber food in your meal like a small serving of berries (e.g., strawberries, raspberries) or whole grain toast. Fiber helps to stabilize blood sugar levels.

Portion Control

Limit your portion size of cantaloupe to a small serving, such as half a cup or a single slice, to reduce the total amount of sugar consumed.

Pre-Meal Hydration

Drink a glass of water before eating cantaloupe. This can help you feel fuller and may reduce the amount of cantaloupe you consume.

Vegetable Addition

Pair cantaloupe with non-starchy vegetables like cucumber or leafy greens. These vegetables are low in sugar and can add volume and nutrients to your meal.

Balanced Meal

Make sure your meal includes a balance of macronutrients. For example, you could have a lean protein like chicken or fish, combined with a side salad (including cantaloupe), and a small amount of healthy fat like olive oil dressing.

Eat Slowly

Take your time eating and savor each bite. Eating slowly can help you better regulate your blood sugar as it allows your body to process the sugar more gradually.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity such as a walk for 15-20 minutes after eating cantaloupe. Physical activity can help lower blood sugar levels.

Timing Matters

Consume cantaloupe as part of a meal rather than on an empty stomach. Eating it with other foods can help moderate the blood sugar spike.
